started: 15/11/2023 - if Bad Cop doesn't like Wilson, why does he hold him up to let Wilson stargaze? and if Bad Cop is as impassive as he says, why does he enjoy stargazing with Wilson?

there isn't too much to gander at, when you're strapped to the top of an APC, unable to move, absolutely scared out of your wits because oh my god that rocket exploded right next to me, or wow those bullets sure are hitting uncomfortably close to me. it doesn't make the sight seeing too enjoyable, but in the short amount of time he's been on the surface, he has to say that the sky is easily the best thing to look at.

it's a watercolour of dark blues, with the faintest hints of greens and greys mixed in. what seems like a million stars are littered for as far as he can see; all different sizes, all varying levels of brightness, some seemingly overlapping with others. when paired with the snowy scenery of the arctic, it really is a beautiful sight to behold.

… well. when the snow hasn't been spattered with gore, or shredded from a panicked drivers swerves, or pot-marked with bullet holes and rocket blasts.

back to looking at the sky, then.

he tries to strike up strings of conversation with the Boss while they putter along the road, after the occasional stop to gun down something, either out of necessity or for fun. the Boss is real picky with words, and kind of mean most of the time, but he thinks they've been making good head-way. he's just so curious - the first person he spoke to after an eternity alone was the boss, and now he's having an adventure with the boss's brother! on the surface! … the brothers clone. the clone's brother? he's still a bit confused on that part. either way, the Boss is the second person he's been able to talk to in ages. so what if he's a little excited about it?

but when the Boss is away, or the Boss doesn't want to talk, he looks at the sky, and tries to count as many stars as he can. by the time he's up to 146, they're inside a tunnel, one that seems to stretch on forever. the sky is replaced for concrete, and he remembers that, yeah, this surface business really isn't as cracked up as he thought it'd be. it kind of sucks, actually; being shot at and blown up and chased down is not nice. it's especially not nice when you're stuck on top of a rocky vehicle with a bad driver behind the wheel (full offense intended. he thinks the Boss does it on purpose).

after another quick chat, the Boss heads in to the ominous building of Arbiet #2. he's been left on top of the APC. alone. staring at the locked door. that's made of stone. and is a stoney white. riveting.

he hasn't seen the sky in five minutes, and he can't move himself to look at literally anything else. he wants, needs, to look at something else. the surface sucks, but staring at a wall - something he's intimately familiar with - is even worse.

'I'm not going back in there again.' he hears the Boss sneer as footsteps rush out of the building. he ignores the panic in the Boss's tone in favour of his own mental health.

'say Boss, can I ask for a favour?'

'no.' the Boss instantly snaps back. he'd figured he'd get that kind of response, but he keeps pushing, desperate.

'aw c'mon Boss, I promise it won't take long, I just, I really need a change of scenery, y'know?' the stomp of steps stop right beside the APC, giving him a boost of confidence. 'I er, I can't really move around like you, because, uh. I don't have legs. well I do, but not bendable legs. and if I keep looking at this door, I really am gonna lose my mind.' he chuckles without the humour, a nervous little flutter with just a hint of hysteria. the door reminds him too much of the catacombs. now that he's out of that wretched place, he doesn't ever want to be reminded of it again. 'I know you're in a hurry, but uh. yeah. you don't, don't have to, but I- ... it would mean a lot. to look at somethin' else for a second.'

there's a pause. the sounds of muted tapping against a metal surface. he wishes he could see what the Boss was exactly doing.

'will it get you to stop talking?' the Boss finally relents, sounding annoyed and defeated, which sparks elation within his motherboard.

'yes.'

'fine.' the Boss unhooks him from the APC's clasps, arms wrapping around his metal shell, and he's being marched into Arbiet #2. true to his word, he doesn't say anything. he already feels a hell of a lot better, as they pass by blinking monitors and bright red lights, sights that are tons more engaging to look at than a slab of brick. he gets walked into a comfy looking surveillance room, and the door leading to the balcony is a blessedly short trip. it, surprisingly, overlooks the indoor roadway rather than the surface.

the roof of the tunnel has a hole in it, where long pillars of rock poke through. a flock of what's most likely Xen life circle the pillars, a light drift of snow fluttering down into the clear water below. the sky stands tall above them, still the same washed out blues and greens and greys, with just as many stars strewn across the universe. the Boss holds him high enough so he can see everything, but not so far over the railing that the threat of a slip could send him to the depths. he feels safe in the Boss's solid grip. and it's striking. it's somehow even more beautiful down here, seemingly enclosed and secluded away from the rest of the world. at least this time, there's nothing shooting at them; no one shouting, nothing exploding, no horrific deaths, no needless slaughter. it's almost peaceful, in a way. like there isn't a war going on. like the Combine haven't eradicated everything they can get their hands on. they may have been able to take earth into their iron fists, but they can't take away the colours of the sky, nor the brightness of the stars, or the natural beauty of it all, no matter how hard they seem to try. this little pocket is ours, now, he smugly thinks to himself, the dull beeps of distant machines and the far off chirps of foreign wildlife seeming to agree with him.

'better?' the Boss asks after a minute, not once lowering him. he wonders how the Boss's arms aren't tired yet. does he still have feeling in them? he'll have to ask at some point.

'yeah.' it's said in a sigh. oh yeah, the Boss likes him alright. he can deny it all he wants, but he knows that the Boss likes him. 'thanks, Boss. I really needed that.'

'yeah yeah whatever. c'mon, let's get moving, being in here creeps me the hell out.' he's brought close to the Boss's chest, arms encased around him securely, but he seems to hesitate. the Boss let's him gaze at their pocket for a few seconds longer; then he turns around, and starts heading back for the APC.

and he wonders, as his gears warm up and his circuits buzz with more electricity than normal, if this is what love feels like. he's too happy to notice that they've come to a stop at the doorway, the concrete door still blocking the APC's exit, the Boss grumbling unintelligibly under his static-y breath. he can't stop himself from giggling, which just seems to irritate the Boss further.

'ah Boss, did you forget to hit the switch?'

'shut up. you distracted me.'

'not the first time I didn't! I wasn't even in there with you, that was your own fault!' a short bout of silence. the Boss's slight fidgeting. 'I shoulda' left you in those catacombs where you were standing.' it's said with no real bitterness, and he's never felt so happy in his life. 'but'cha didn't!' god is it nice to be around someone again. even if he's kind of a jerk.

headcanons for the RED and BLU Mercs =D

RED Scout: Jeremy, 28 -grew up with 7 older brothers -Ma, no Pa -was often overlooked, so he learned to run ahead -loud mouth, constantly talking, can keep track of the stories he tells and where in a story he is -egotistical, but knows when to reign it back -ADHD, dyslexic, needs to fidget with something to stay focused -street smart -artist -Bonk drinker -has the Sex Bom tattoo BLU Scout: James, 36 -grew up with 1 younger sister -Pa, no Ma -taught his sister how to do a lot of things alongside his Pa -quiet, grumpy, withdrawn, prefers to keep to himself -has a bad leg, but has learned to hide the limp -is crazy smart; can speak multiple languages and could be other classes if he really wanted to -actually drinks alcohol just as much as the RED Demoman -writer -plays dumb in front of the others (RED is jealous of BLU, both because BLU looks like him and is gonna "steal all the ladies if I'm not fast enough", and because he slowly figures out just how fucked up smart BLU actually is. BLU can't stand to be near RED for too long, and often blocks RED out.)

RED Sniper: Mick, 31 -grew up with a mother and father, but is an outcast of the usual Australian lifestyle -grew up secluded in a small location - his family were lonely farmers -skinny but has good stamina -quiet, withdrawn, likes keeping to himself -terrible with people, even worse at socialising -gets lost in his own head a lot/daydreamer -has an owl named Sir Hootsalot -uses jarate -HUGE nerd -spends most of his time in his camper -tall BLU Sniper: Matthew, 25 -grew up with a mother and father, and fit in slightly better with the other Australians -grew up somewhere more crowded - his family were outgoing tailors -much more muscular, but less stamina -loves to talk, extremely boisterous and full of ego, jokes sometimes get too mean-spirited -has bad luck with animals -loves playing pranks -doesn't use jarate -spends most of his time in the base -short (BLU rubs it in that he's more Australian than RED. RED does not give a single shit. RED often sets Sir Hootsalot onto BLU to chase him off because he's so annoying.)

RED Demoman: Tavish, 32 -lost his eye to the Bombinomicon; the socket became haunted -lost his adoptive parents to his experimental bombs, then got taken in by his real mother soon after -drinks heavily -extremely rich; loves to give out expensive gifts -has a haunted sword -hard worker, big lover, the best drinking company -has many stories to tell -cryptid hunter -remembers everything that's said to him, even when drunk BLU Demoman: Todd, 37 -lost his eye from a bomb accident; the socket isn't haunted -lost his parents to his experimental bombs, then got taken in by his real father soon after -can't actually get drunk, no matter how much he drinks -isn't really rich, but makes enough to be comfortable -all of his swords are normal -is a disgrace to the Demolitions line because he's lazy, and this is his first real job -is more interested in music than cryptids (mainly the bagpipes) -has the best jokes in town (RED and BLU get along well, even if RED is confused by BLU's lack of being able to get drunk. they drink and tell stories together and often brainstorm gifts for everyone, as well as construct new explosions and grenade launchers together.)

RED Medic: Ludwig, 59 -was chased out of his hometown on account of being a crazy experimental doctor -doesn't have a Medical licence -values the could-be's and what-if's over actual medicine and healing - he's not overly compassionate and can come off as cold and uncaring -rescued a bunch of doves -blood thirsty, a venomous rage, cynical, can fend for himself -will at least ask for permission to cut you up to try out a new organ (he didn't, before, but after much backlash, he does now. ...sometimes) -took everyones souls then sold his own to ensure he lived longer BLU Medic: Levi, 40 -had a pretty comfortable life as a doctor in his hometown; the locals loved him -has an actual Medical licence -is a complete mother-hen to the point of being smothering -not a good fighter, and tends to stay behind and run away rather than fight -easy to scare -the only implants he's done are the baboon hearts for the Uber - he doesn't do implants or experiments unless it's absolutely necessary -loves healing and being a Medic for the sake of healing - he is outgoing, friendly, caring, and compassionate -saved a raven. the raven knows how to say a few words -has a wonderful singing voice -all of the BLU Mercs still have their souls (RED is repulsed by how caring BLU is. how can you be a Medic and not have a lust for the unknown when it comes to the anatomy of the human body? how animal organs can work inside of a human host? incomprehensible! still, RED invites BLU over for tea, and they love talking about their birds.)

RED Pyro: -schizophrenic - genuinely believes they see rainbows and hears laughter when people die -LOVES fire. absolutely adores it -loves to draw -friendly and affectionate, but doesn't take people's shit. they know to set boundaries and aren't afraid of letting people know when its been crossed -owns a company and is a CEO manager -gets lost in their head a lot -good to talk to (if you can understand them) -has an entire shelf of plushies BLU Pyro: -extreme anger issues; a short temper, violent, and impatient -could literally care less about fire -will not hesitate to dismember someone, even their own teammates, if they get on their nerves -hates to be around anyone -collects fingers -secretly names their flamethrowers -offputting on purpose -stares at you. stares at you. stares at you. sta (BLU cannot stand RED. they are too cheerful and chatty, and no matter what BLU does to try and scare RED away into leaving them alone, RED just keeps coming back with more drawings.)

RED Engineer: Dell, 49 -11 PhD's -cut off his own arm for the Gunslinger -took the blueprints of his father to improve his buildings -civil, has good advice, can play the guitar -his kindness is scary when he's mad -maybe as insane as the RED Soldier when pushed enough BLU Engineer: Dan, 54 -no PhD's -has both hands -gets lucky with his constructions - they barely hold together, and have to be repaired after every use -can't play the guitar, but can play the harmonica -pretty grumpy and always exhausted, but has no ill will toward people -fond of birdwatching (RED is befuddled by how lucky BLU is. no matter how hard RED tries, BLU just cannot remember how to properly construct his buildings so the inner workings don't get overworked into burning out.)

RED Soldier: Jane, 46 -took part in WW2 without being drafted -borderline crazy -has an army of raccoons (he found a group of them and won't leave them alone) -loud, brash, empty headed -PROUD AMERICAN. NO OTHER PLACE EXISTS AND IF IT DOES THEN HE NEEDS TO TEACH THEM HOW TO BE A TRUE AMERICAN -was the roommate of Merasmus for a short time -ALWAYS WAKES AT 6AM, THE TRUE AMERICAN TIME BLU Solider: Johan, 47 -this is his first time in any war, and he kind of enjoys it -just some guy. we're just normal men. just innocent men. -easy to get along and have deep, thoughtful conversations with -doesn't know any wizards -has an army of opossums (he fed a group once and now they won't leave him alone) -literally doesn't care that he's American -gardener! grows his own stuff in his free time, like strawberries and tomatoes (BLU is American. that is all that matters, even if he is a bit of a weirdo and not really that bloodthirsty. BLU is unnerved by RED, but is polite about it.)

RED Heavy: Misha, 58 -grew up with a mother and 3 sisters -hid from the Soviet authorities after escaping from the Gulag; they hid in the snowy mountains -names each and every one of his Mini-Guns -broken English; can speak Russian, German, and some French -intimidating, but humble, and secretly bashful -will let you know when he doesn't want to be disturbed BLU Heavy: Maxi, 55 -grew up with a father and 1 brother -lived in a crowded area, free of conflict -doesn't name his Mini-Guns -better English and Russian, but broken German and French -loves to socialise; very friendly and a gift giver -hugger -competitive (RED and BLU often read together, and chat to each other about the differences in their upbringing. they have deep talks over chess.)

RED Spy: Renae, 52 -spent his entire life as a free-lance hitman -had a fling with the RED Scouts mother -rich and stingy -prideful and obnoxious, taking great ego in what he does -suits are custom made, as are his knives -cold and off-puting - begrudgeingly trusts his team -can speak multiple languages fluidly -has read everyone's medical files (except for a few, because they don't exist) BLU Spy: Renard, 47 -has only been a Spy for 9 years - he's been with BLU for 7 -aloof, gives out too much information, and is a Spy by accident (he trips at the top of the stairs and accidentally gets a trickstab) -buys cheap, normal suits - he's not really interested in looking fancy -trusts too easily; he finds even the weakest of jokes hilarious -terrible people skills, even when disguised. especially when disguised -can only speak English and French -is a massive Tom Jones fan (RED detests BLU. he can't even stand to be within the same room as BLU. RED views BLU as a disgrace to the Spy name, wherein BLU just laughs him off, then trips over his own shoes while leaving. BLU finds RED rude and irritating, but is polite about it.)

-when Redmond and Blutarch die, and Graymann releases his robots, both RED and BLU are forced to join together to fight against the bots and their bombs by the Administrator. they cycle between Mercs, so the same class doesn't go to two raids within the same days. they embark in a group of 6.

-BLU Demoman often asks people to listen to his new music as test listeners. the majority of people like his tunes.

-both Demomen, RED Engineer and Medic, and sometimes, even the BLU Scout, get together to brainstorm new schematics for weapons.

-RED Pyro makes every excuse in the book to go and see other peoples animals. they bring tons of treats and toys for the birds and trash dwellers. the animals, in turn, like them.

-BLU Heavy and Scout are "inseparable best friends" (Heavy's own words).

-BLU Scout gets together with RED Demoman to drink. of the RED's, BLU Scout likes Demoman the most.

-RED Scout and BLU Sniper are the bestest of friends one day, and mortal enemies the next. they often form ideas of pranks, and are generally a terrible duo because of how obnoxiously loud they are.

-RED Sniper is one of the first to clock on that BLU Scout is playing an act. as such, he's enamoured. BLU Scout is the first person that RED Sniper truly wants to get to know more.

-BLU Sniper often pranks the entire RED team, and loves to piss off BLU Pyro on purpose. as such, BLU Pyro pranks BLU Sniper back by charring his clothes to near ash and almost severing an arm.

-RED Medic does not know what sleep is, while BLU Medic gets his full 8 hours. on top of this, BLU Medic is a heavy sleeper, while RED Medic wakes to a pin dropping.

-BLU Spy and RED Sniper get along surprisingly well, mainly because BLU Spy isn't a proper Spy, and isn't trying to piss Sniper off on purpose.

-BLU Pyro will often steal things from RED Medics medical ward. it's not known why.

-BLU Scout, Medic, Engineer, Spy, and Soldier, and RED Medic, Heavy, Pyro, and Demoman, will birdwatch, if the location they're stationed in has birds.

-BLU Scout often hangs out in BLU Medics ward. he likes the radio, as well as Medic's raven.

-RED Spy is unnerved by BLU Scout.

-RED Pyro often holds parties that they invite everyone to, which ranges from drawing, baking, reading, or plushie making.

-RED Soldier likes BLU Pyro because of their unrelenting rage. the two often get into scraps that RED Heavy has to break up.

-RED Heavy learns English with RED Spy and BLU Heavy through translations of books. this is also where a small book club forms, with both Medics, RED Sniper, and BLU Scout and Soldier.

-RED Pyro and BLU Medic often help BLU Soldier in the garden.

-BLU Scout is even more secretive than RED Spy, and is much more of a mystery.

-BLU Medic has formed a shoddy band with RED Engineer and BLU Demoman. they only preform for BLU Medics raven.

-BLU Scout and RED Demoman teach BLU Medics raven words. now she knows how to say "fuck".

-BLU Sniper is "obviously too manly and cool" to knit, but if RED Pyro asks, BLU Sniper never turns them down. they have made many scarfs and jumpers together.
